That’s where I get them all the time. Did you ask or look in the drawers with all the LEDs, switches, resistors, etc?

If i used diffrent type of motor could I still use this code

106

Code isnt really motor
Code isnt really motor dependant. If you use different motors it will just make the robot move faster or slower.

107

does it matter if u have a
does it matter if u have a 5v regulator or not acording to your code

108

Code does not care what
Code does not care what voltage is supplying the picaxe. The picaxe cares what the voltage is. Too low and it won’t work, too high and POOF!

Does the picaxe 8 boared has a motor driver built in it

There is a slot for a longer chip on the board. If it says l293d that is a motor driver. It MAY have a darlington which allows you to use 2 different voltages. See what is written on the chip and google it.

Links
I’mm trying to get to the link for the bumper switches, but these links aren’t working. Can you help.

113

all you need is a bit of the google
That link is an old e-bay sale. So it’s expired by now. Did you try google instead? These switches are very basic. Any robot-parts webshop sells them. Or any generic electronics store.

Nice and Interesting design

Little 8 is a fast robot. I am starting to think about building that robot. I do have a quick question.

Does the switches from radio shack work?

Even though their not long whiskers like from your robot, but do they still work for the 8pin motor driver board?

Though it might need to stay off the caffeine.

I dont understand the question. You can drive all motors with PWM, that is just turning on and off the motor really fast.
